Danielle Staub sure has a healthy ego.

"I'm not the most gorgeous woman in the world, but I'm kinda hot," Staub tells me. "I might just be the ultimate threat."

No surprise, but this 45-year-old single mother of two is already being set up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey as the town, you know, rhymes with lamp.

"I think I'm just a really secure woman, and sometimes, people are less than enthusiastic about having me around," Danielle says.

The other Housewives gossip that Danielle's past may include prostitution, drug cartels and kidnapping.

What's Danielle got to say for herself?

"I'm baffled," she says of the accusations.

Even so, she declines to elaborate. "Oh, that would be like reading the end of the book; I can't give that away, but it's so exciting."

In another stinger, fellow Housewife Teresa Giudice claims that Danielle has a much younger man in her life who she orally pleasures on a daily basis.

"How would anyone know what goes on in my home besides me? And especially what goes on in my bedroom," Danielle says. "I've never been into threesomes, so it's only me and one other person. I don't know how she'd know what goes on in my house. So, I think it's her bad, not mine."

It's hard to figure out who's telling the truth here. Danielle, after all, also brags on camera about having phone sex—for two years!—with a man she's never met (they found each other on the Internet.) "We're real. We're raw. We're right out there," Danielle says of the Garden State crop of Housewives. "And what you're going to experience are events that unfold in our lives."

Including, an argument that ends with glass flying as Teresa flips a table aimed at Danielle.

Danielle refuses to spill the details on the drama. But she warns, "I'll never fall down without taking a couple with me. I've got to hold on to something."
